| ==Overview==
| |
| Majors and Ultras (enemies with yellow health bars) such as [[Riksis, Devil Archon]] drop Glimmer when killed.<ref name="E3demo"/> Normal enemies only drop Glimmer if the player has used [[Ether Seeds]], [[Black Wax Idol]], [[Blue Polyphage]], or [[Resupply Codes]], or a Legendary [[Ghost]]. Glimmer is also gained by disassembling items or finding some in loot chests<ref name = "TG"/>. Another source of Glimmer comes from selling [[House Banners]], [[Silken Codex]]es, [[Axiomatic Beads]] and [[Network Keys]] to the [[Cryptarch]]s for two hundred fifty Glimmer each.
| |
| | |
| As of ''[[Shadowkeep]]'' Glimmer drops on almost every enemy kill. [[Shadow Thrall]]s drop Glimmer on death in patrol zones, but leave no Glimmer in [[The Shattered Throne]] {{citation needed}}.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[Destiny]]'', Glimmer is capped at 25,000; one way to circumvent the cap is to stockpile the aforementioned items and sell them to the Cryptarchs when needed. In ''[[Destiny 2]]'', Glimmer is capped at 500,000. Prior to update 7.3.4, it was capped at 250,000.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Glimmer is apparently buried deep within the earth and can be extracted from the ground, as the [[Fallen]] will attempt to do so with portable [[Glimmer Drill]]s in some [[Public Event]]s.<ref name = "Alpha">'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard.''</ref>
| |
| *According to the Grimoire card, Glimmer is a "programmable matter" which can be transmuted into nearly anything. This function is not displayed in-game, as the only shape Glimmer takes is small cubes. This may be incorrect, as many objects for Public Events seem to materialize/dematerialize from thin air, possibly Glimmer being programmed into these objects.
